Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies with camera under panel structures experience uneven brightness due to capacitance formation between transparent connection leads and gate connection electrodes, leading to inconsistent light emission.

Innovation Solution

The display substrate design includes a base substrate with distinct display areas and border areas, featuring connection leads that do not overlap with gate connection electrodes, ensuring electrical connections without capacitance formation, thereby maintaining uniform light brightness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If connection leads are arranged to connect pixel driving circuits and light emitting devices, then electrical connection is achieved, but capacitance forms between connection leads and gate connection electrodes causing uneven brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidbrightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the problematic overlapping region between connection leads and gate connection electrodes by routing connection leads through dedicated openings in the gate connection electrode layer. This separation eliminates the capacitance formation while maintaining electrical connectivity between pixel driving circuits and light emitting devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary structure (openings in the gate connection electrode layer) that allows connection leads to pass through without forming capacitance. This intermediary solution enables electrical connection while preventing the harmful capacitive coupling effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If camera module is integrated under the display panel, then screen-to-body ratio is improved, but capacitance interference occurs between connection leads and gate connection electrodes

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the connection leads from the planar layout and routes them vertically through openings in the gate connection electrode layer. This three-dimensional routing approach eliminates capacitance interference while accommodating the under-display camera module, thereby maintaining high screen-to-body ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional planar arrangement to a three-dimensional vertical routing approach by creating openings through the gate connection electrode layer. This dimensional change allows connection leads to pass through without lateral overlap, eliminating capacitance interference while preserving the compact under-display camera structure.
